Hi we are Demarco’s foster family, let us tell you a bit about this sweet boy. He was picked up by animal control which probably explains why he insists he gets to walk on the inside away from the street ( so no one picks him up again). DFW Lab Rescue pulled him from the shelter and he is now in our foster home. He had heartworms so he had his pre-treatment, heartworm treatment and has just completed his bed rest. This guy is feeling good now and he is full of vigor, ready to go! 

Demarco is a young lab and is full of liveliness and energy. He is stunningly handsome, long legged, American style Labrador. He is quite thin so he will need to put on some weight but he loves food and good boy treats so that will not be a problem. Out of 63 foster dogs I can say that Demarco is one of the best dogs I have ever taken for a walk. He cannot wait to get outside but once he is out, he is very good on the leash. He loves to walk especially now that is cooler. He has been very friendly to everyone we have met on our outings both people and other dogs, he has no problems with being petted and loved on.

Demarco loves playing with our Labrador. He loves to rastle and play chase. Our lab is a bit older so our lab just waits for him behind the sofa and jumps out and Demarco thinks it is funny and he runs around and around the sofa without realizing no one is really chasing him. Demarco also loves to crouch
down and pretend like he is a stealth ninja who is going to pounce on our lab. Demarco is hard to miss though so our lab always see him coming and then the chase is on. Demarco loves his chew toys and bones. As he is young, he uses them almost like a pacifier ( it is the first thing he runs and gets when he gets out of his crate) and then likes to bump you in the back of the leg while you are doing chores so you can see he has a toy. He is potty trained (hooray!), crate trained (although is very vocal that he wants to come out and play) but he does settle down and he is crated while we go to work, school and at night. We have a twelve year old boy in our house too and Demarco loves it when he gets out his hockey stick and they play keep away with a ball or puck. He is not a mouthy or licky dog but he really likes to play and has a lot of energy. He can get all four legs high off the ground when he jumps to catch a ball. He likes to be petted and gives sweet little kisses.

Demarco will definitely need some basic obedience classes as he is looking for reassurance, boundaries and he wants to please. His most challenging habit right now is wanting to put everything in his mouth – shoes, blankets, remotes, toys and wanting to carry them around. We are working on the drop command and what is ok for him to play with. On the bright side our house has been less cluttered and neater than it usually is as we quickly straighten the house before he comes out of his crate. (Our son even puts his shoes away in his room, it is a miracle!) All in all, Demarco is a super sweet, handsome lab who needs some basic training, daily walks, play time, love and attention. As he continues to get older, he is going to become even more awesome and he will be a loving member of your household. He will do well with all aged people and loves playing with other dogs if you have one who likes to play. We
are not sure about how he feels about cats.

Anyone looking for a perfectly mannered, slightly older gentleman to be their companion while watching TV, taking naps, going for walks?  Then Tobey might be your guy. He is a little older fella who spent his entire life (since 4 months old) with the same family. Because of their age and finances they are no longer able to take care of him. He has grieved the loss of his family but is now ready to move on to a new forever home. He is totally housebroken (uses a doggy door if you happen to have one), doesn’t chew inappropriately, doesn’t even try to get on furniture, and most importantly, loves all people and dogs.  We don’t know his experience with cats. He probably didn’t get the exercise he needed in the past as he’s overweight. In the time he has been in rescue, we’ve cut back on his kibble and he enjoys walks. Although he’s only lost a few pounds so far, he’s running to the fence to chase away those pesky squirrels on HIS fence.

Rupert is a handsome fellow with his beautiful coat and colorful, piercing eyes!  He's a big boy, weighing in at close to 100lbs, but this gentle giant would rather be on the couch next to you or on your lap than anywhere else. Don't let his serious expression fool you...he's a super happy, mellow guy who loves being around people.

His manners are quite good. He isn't a jumper and only chews on things he's supposed to. Rupert will need the really tough toys as he can destroy the flimsy ones in record time! He doesn't counter surf and is pretty good on a leash. He gets along well with other dogs and humans of all ages. The crate is not his favorite place to be as he's rather be with the humans, but once you get him in, he's content.

Rupert loves treats and knows several commands. He is very expressive with his paws and has the cutest "begging" pose, which you can see in the photos.

This big guy has been through lots of changes in the past few weeks. Rupert had a mass on his leg removed that has turned out to be a very slow growing cancer. We have had him with an oncologist who does not believe any treatment is necessary and confirmed it has not spread to lymph nodes. He should remain on a daily dose of antihistamines but has received a great diagnosis and has lots of love to give for his stable, forever home!

My name is Wilbur and don't let my few gray hairs fool you, I'm a handsome young young black lab! I'm a quiet boy who is getting use to my new surroundings - I was previously an outside dog so this house thing is pretty cool. My foster parents say I'm adjusting well to my new life on easy street!! 

In my spare time, I enjoy looking out the window, playing fetch and getting pets. Since this is my first time in a home, I am a little shy but still provide a lot of attention and love. I walk well on a leash and cars bother me less and less everyday. I am house and crate trained and only whine to let you know I'm awake and ready to play!  

I know I will be a great friend for the right person and look forward to meeting you!

Miss Posey is a lover! She loves to snuggle and give hugs. She interacts well with other dogs and would make a great addition to any family.  When she came to us, it was evident her prior owner had not worked with her on any of the basic commands. In the short two weeks she’s been with us, she has learned “sit” and “off”. She still needs some of that basic training, but she is a willing and quick learner.

*This dog may not meet the breed standard for a Labrador Retriever.

Chewy Buddy is a high energy, pretty boy with all the traits of a great Labrador.  He is my constant companion and loves to hang out with people all day (just in case you have a treat, are willing to pet or want to play).  He is a big, playful, and kinda goofy.  

He has learned basic commands (sit and down) and walks well on a leash.  He likes playing with his toys and playing tug, but still learning that pillows and shoes are not in his toy collection. I'm happy to say he gets along well with other dogs but I am not sure if he likes to swim yet.  He is very food and toy motivated, but is a bit hard headed. Chewy Buddy likes to cuddle and get belly rubs.

His perfect family would be an active family willing to spend time playing and exercising with him.  He still has quite a bit of puppy left in him, is very athletic and likes to explore.  I think with a seasoned owner willing to train him, he will be a great family pet.

Hi, I usually let the labs speak for themselves but Zozo is a bit quiet, so she asked me to write her bio instead. Zozo is an almost white colored lady. She is so sweet but also very shy. When I first met Zozo she took a bit to warm up to me but with patience and love, I have watched this girl start to bloom. In our home she does great. She gets along with her three lab foster brothers. She has learned to eat like a normal lab, but she still prefers to eat away from the craziness that is our three guys. She knows several commands and is crate and house trained. She also loves to get tummy rubs and sleep on the sofa. She is quiet and doesn’t chew on anything. She even has learned to swim!

She sounds perfect right? She really is with one caveat; she is very shy with new situations. We have worked hard with her and she is so much better. She will usually run outside when the other dogs go out but sometimes, she needs to be reminded it is ok for her to go outside with them. Zozo takes walks but
a stranger may make her hesitant. Walking with our dogs makes her more confident though. She is a flower that is slowly blooming and if you have the patience, she will hopefully fully blossom into the most wonderful girl. Zozo has won our hearts and I know she will win your heart too.

Please enjoy this new video of Zozo!

Hi!  Abbey here - my foster mom says I’m like a blossoming flower. Each day I learn a little more, then someday, I will be in full bloom. I love to give puppy kisses, laying in your lap and being next to you. I play with my sister and chase the resident dogs around. I have learned how to use a doggie door, and am working on housetraining. I am also learning about what this “No” thing is. I am not much of a fan of being away from everyone, crating is difficult on me because I love to be at your feet. With continued training, I am sure I can learn to adjust to being in a crate when you need me to be.

I am looking forward to meeting my new family soon.

Alessandra here world! I am a big girl who learned the door dog pretty fast, well before my sister anyways. That means I am a fast learner. I am working on housetraining, crating and learning what the “No” word means. I am, after all a puppy. I like being held, giving kisses, playing with my sister and aggravating the resident dogs.

I can’t wait to meet my new family.

Rustee here…I am a young chocolate boy with the most adorable white patch on my chest. My foster family are total rookies with dogs, but I sure do love them well and have been super easy on them. They tell me ALL the time what a good boy I am. I have the perfect combination of playful puppy, with the benefits of being house trained and am overall a very obedient pup that loves to hang out and chill with my people. I am a super fast learner!  Once in a while I sneak a shoe or try to chew my dog bed, but overall, I “leave it” when told and don’t mess with things that aren’t mine. I don’t love going in my crate, but I tolerate it well once I am in there. I am not a barker and would rather give kisses - and occasionally a puppy nip but I am learning to be gentle. I absolutely love being outside and would love a yard to run and play in. Soccer is my favorite sport so far and I would really enjoy a family with kids. My foster family has three kids aged 6 to 11 and we have the best time!  They says kids older than five would probably be best as sometimes I get a little excited and jump, but mostly it’s because my tail is quite whippy for the folks on that level. It could leave a mark!  I truly am the sweetest pup and am ready to bless your family with love and kisses. xoxo
